Forcing Https And Avoid Duplicate Urls Using IIS7 Url Rewrite Module
Feb 16, 2011
I need to force every request to https://www.mysite.com (always with https and www)
The site is hosted in GoDaddy and I need to do it via IIS7 URL Rewrite Module.
I've been able to do the HTTPS redirect with the following code:
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Canonical Host Name" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^mysite.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.mysite.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
Test cases
http://mysite.com -> https://www.mysite.com OK
http://www.mysite.com -> https://www.mysite.com NOT WORKING
I guess the condition is not being satisfied when I enter www.mysite.com in the browser, so there's no redirect and the page serves as HTTP instead of HTTPS.
I think I just need to modify the condition pattern, but I have almost nothing regex knowledge and I need this asap.

I have web services built with ASP.NET and ASP.NET clients consuming them. When consuming the webservices, how would I to force the clients to use https?
I don't want to force the whole site to use https by turning on require SSL in IIS.
Can I use the IIS7 URL rewrite module to re-route http requests to https?

I have the following setting in my web.config to redirect to a default page:
<defaultDocument>
<files>
<clear/>
<add value="default.aspx"/>
</files>
</defaultDocument>
For example when a user enters www.homeforhire.com they should be redirected to default.aspx (for operational reasons the user is then redirected to
www.homeforhire.com/home.aspx).
Instead an error is caught in the Rewrite module (which should not be activated). I am using an http module to perform URL rewriting.
It appears as if the default document setup is not working correctly, and the requested page ~/ is being sent to the Rewrite module, causing an error (which is then caught by my error handler and the user is redirected to the home page).
Entering www.homeforhire.com/default.aspx works correctly.
Can anyone tell me why the default document settings in the web.config do not appear to be working?

I want to rewrite something like this:
www.webaddress.com/article.aspx?date=150211&title=title-of-news-article
to this:
www.webaddress.com/150211/title-of-news-article
Even to achieve the first link above, I need to replace capital letters and non-standard characters like é with e, and replace spaces with hyphens. Is all of this possible using URL Rewrite Module 2.0 or might I be better off coding some ASP? I'm new to .net and may have to do something in classic if I struggle. And I only just get by in ASP...
I've tried some of the tutorials on the official IIS website and have got through a simple rewrite wizard, but replacing characters seems more complicated, and I'm sure some of the tutorials have errors in them...

I have a application which uses intelligencia urlrewriter to rewrite urls into seo friendly urls. Blog engine is integrated in this application under subfolder but shares webconfig with my application. Application runs perfectly on development server, but when i publish it to 2008/IIS7 server urls links don't work. Links similar to following work
<rewrite url="^/Abc" to="~/abc.aspx" processing="stop"/>
<rewrite url="^/Abc_123" to="~/abc-123.aspx" processing="stop"/>
But links like following fail to redirect and i get 404 errors
<rewrite url="^/Abc/(.*/)" to="~/abc.aspx?id=$1" processing="stop"/>
<rewrite url="^/XYZ" to="~/xyz.aspx?cat=school" processing="stop"/>
Anything which has query parameters in aspx url fails. I'm not sure what is causing this error on 2008/IIS 7 server and not on my VS 2008 development server.

I have some issues regarding listing images from inside a directory. What I want to do is to create a Default.aspx page that will search and list the images located inside a folder of my website (where I simply drop them in it). I tried with a treeview, DirectoryInfo and both worked when I compiled my website with visual studio, but when I access them via another computer, I get a 404 for the page. My bet is that iis7 is blocking my code from accessing the folder containing the images. Any idea of how to fix this and make it work ?the code I use to browse in my image folder
string path = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
DirectoryInfo diFiles = new DirectoryInfo(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + @"contentmiscimages");
foreach (var f in diFiles.GetFiles("*.jpg"))
{
Lit.Text += "<a href="" + f + ""rel="lightbox[img]" title=" + f + ">" + f + "</a>" + "<br />"; //I format the image as an url inside a literal
}

I have an application where I rewrite some URLs for a masking effect. If I run the application through VS, it works fine. However, when I try to run it through a virtual application, it says:
Could not load file or assembly 'MoonFlareStudiosLibrary.UrlRedirection' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
MoonFlareStudiosLibrary.UrlRedirection is the code namespace that handles all my url redirection and rewriting.
When I say "run it through a virtual application" I mean I use IIS7 to create a virtual application in my wwwroot folder so I can just type "localhost/<app name>" to run it.
hy it work when debugging but not through the virtual application?

I am trying to make a rewrite rule to check whether the URL ends with .htm or .html, but does not contain Archive.aspx.
The url starts out like
[URL]
and ends up like
[URL]
How can I do this with a regular expression?

I use IIS 7 URL Rewrite Module and it works fine.
But My javascript code doesn't work anymore on the page (details.aspx) where i use URL Rewrite Module.
Example :
<a href="#" target="popup" onclick="wopen('note.aspx?ID=<%#CType(FormView1.DataItem, System.Data.DataRowView).Item("NoteID")%>&S=<%#CType(FormView1.DataItem, System.Data.DataRowView).Item("IsS")%>','popup',480,480); return false;">
Write a note</a>
If i disable the rule in IIS, this link works as expected.
The Rewrite rule doesn't include the note.aspx page.

I'm probably going to use the URL rewrite module for IIS 7 eventually and I have a fairly straight forward question that I really can't find the answer to.
If you have a base case of:
http://yoururl.com/page.aspx?ID=7
You can obviously have it rewritten to:
http://yoururl.com/page/7 or whatever you want.
My question is this: When using this module can you still use Request.Querystring["page"] on the rewritten querystring. How does the Request.URL stuff work. Does asp.net still provide the un-rewritten url or does it provide the rewritten one.
I would assume that your C#/asp.net code is completely unaffected by the url rewriting, as that's more or less the point, but I want to be crystal clear.
Secondary question: What is the best practice for how you should code a website when using the rewritten. Should you code links in the written style, or continue using querystrings?

I would like to use the Helicon ISAPI_REWRITE module to rewrite a url:
123.45.67.89/folder
to
www.site.com
I need to mask the IP/folder due to an IIS structure change. The reason why I don't want to get into, but it's valid based on the setup.

The IIS URL Rewrite Module ships with 3 built-in functions:
* ToLower - returns the input string converted to lower case.
* UrlEncode - returns the input string converted to URL-encoded format. This function can be used if the substitution URL in rewrite rule contains special characters (for example non-ASCII or URI-unsafe characters).
* UrlDecode - decodes the URL-encoded input string. This function can be used to decode a condition input before matching it against a pattern.
The functions can be invoked by using the following syntax:
{function_name:any_string}
The question is: can this list be extended by introducing a Replace function that's available for changing values within a rewrite rule action or condition?
Another way to frame the question: is there any way to do a global replace on a URL coming in using this module?
It seems that you're limited to using regular expressions and back-references to construct strings - i.e. there's no search/replace mechanism to replace every instance of X with Y in {REQUEST_URI}, without knowing how many instances there are.
I've had a quick glance at the extensibility introduced in the 2.0 RTW and don't see any 'light' means of introducing this.

I have a program that parser html and collecting urls. The problem is when checking for duplicates before I add them to an arraylist is that I cannot distinguish between types of the following format:
http://forums.asp.net/AddPost.aspx?ForumID=15
http://forums.asp.net/AddPost.aspx?ForumID=15/helloworld.asp
http://forums.asp.net/AddPost.aspx?ForumID=15/helloworld.asp/byeworld.html
Now if I captured the first url, how can I avoid collecting the next few since they are not technically duplicates.

I am using MVC3 and am trying to serve content from https, the problem is that when I call Url.Content the files are still served from http using a relative url. I thought this problem was addressed in MVC3 but i can't seem to find any solution. Does anybody know if this issue is inherently solved in MVC3 and how to accomplish it or do I need to create my own helper methods to generate absolute Urls based on protocol?

Hello, I'm trying to implement URL rewriting for the first time. I must use URL Rewrite Module IIS7 per my hosting company. All of the examples I have found so far will rewrite a url such as:
www.domain.com/ShowProduct.aspx?ID=233&Title=Product-Title,
to: www.domain.com/ShowProduct/ProductTitle/233. The common scenario between these examples is that the rewrite chops off the .aspx & special characters and shuffles the query string parameters around. I get how that all works. However, I had something a little different in mind and I'm not sure if it can be accomplished.
My urls currently look like this: www.domain.com/ShowProduct?ID=233, and I would like them to look like this: www.domain.com/ShowProduct/Product-Title. The way I would imagine this working is, during the rewrite, pass the ID to the db and return the Title for the new url. You see, I currently don't need to pass the Title as a query string parameter and I'd prefer to not show the ID at all. This would be ideal. Can this be accomplished? Or
will I have to add the Title as a query string param and show the ID in rewritten url?

I have a website hosted on IIS7 with the url rewrite module 2.0 installed. It is run by content management that looks at the url and returns a 401 error if the current user does not have permission to view the page. This gets picked up by the asp.net url authorization module which then kicks the page over to the loginUrl page as specified in the web.config (forms authentication).
This works perfectly on my local machine - which is IIS7 and windows7.
If the url is, say, /612/some-string the user gets directed to the login page at /66/login?ReturnUrl=/612/some-string
The url rewriting looks at the first part of the url for the document id. The real url would be this: index.aspx?documentId=612
Unfortunately, when I deployed this to our staging server, the ReturnUrl isn't the rewritten url, it's the original url. This causes all sorts of problems.
The staging server is also IIS7 with the url rewrite module 2.0 installed. It's Windows 2008 server SP2. Both are running asp.net 3.5.
My only guess is that the machine.config orders the default httpModules differently, and the .net forms authentication module is jumping in before the url has been rewritten.
I'll review that soon, but in the meantime has anyone experienced this problem and solved it?
Update
I also tried changing
Response.StatusCode = 401;
to
FormsAuthentication.RedirectToLoginPage();
Which gets me a bit ahead, but still directs the user back to the url that hasn't been rewritten.
I can also do this instead of setting the 401:
string currentPage = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Request.RawUrl);
string loginUrl = FormsAuthentication.LoginUrl + "?ReturnUrl=" + currentPage;
Response.Redirect(loginUrl);
But this seems ugly.

In our ASP.NET web application, we use our own class to act as a rewrite module. It takes all requests to the server, acting as a bootstrapper.
To access an image on our web application, the browser requests domain.com/ResourceItem.aspx?Id=74
Does not having a proper URI mean the server will never respond with 304 NOT MODIFIED?
how to get the 304 response, so the browser doesn't have to download each image every refresh?

Experimenting with URL rewrites using this module, however I'm getting the following error when attempting to hit the URL. Looked online for answers, but not sure what the best way to get around this is...
HTTP Error 500.52 - URL Rewrite Module Error. Outbound rewrite rules cannot be applied when the content of
the HTTP response is encoded ("gzip"). IIS received the request; however, an internal error occurred during the processing of the request. The root cause of this error depends on which module handles the request and what was happening in the worker process when this error occurred. IIS was not able to access the web.config file for the Web site or application. This can occur if the NTFS permissions are set incorrectly. IIS was not able to process configuration for the Web site or application. The authenticated user does not have permission to use this DLL. The request is mapped to a managed handler but the .NET Extensibility Feature is not installed.

I'm interested in creating "short URLs" a segment of pages on a site. However, this isn't in the traditional sense of "short URLs" like bit.ly where it will redirect to a different destination URL. I want the short URL to be the final destination.For example, one of these URLs might be http://foo/a/Afjbg, and when you navigate to it, it stays on http://foo/a/Afjbg (IOW, http://foo/a/Afjbg is visible to the user in the address bar).
If it was static content, I would just arrange the pages and folders into these names. But the content I will have on the site will be dynamically driven from a DB, so each page is generated on the fly. So the content looks logically different, but in reality is essentially the same .aspx page with dynamic content.How can this be accomplished on a Microsoft hosting stack? The platform is IIS 7 with ASP.NET 4.

How can I set up my page load event in my code behind to redirect to an url that has an https prefix? I would need it to work with urls that have query strings attached too.It's one thing to construct a link that goes straight to the https page, but I don't want the user to be able to manually change it to an http page.Also I don't want to do it with javascript because it might be turned off.

Is it at all possible to use IIS7's rewrite capability in web.config to strip a particular HTTP header from a client request?We have an application that makes an HTTP POST to our website, and apparently the request contains the HTTP Expect header. Previously this was not a problem, but we've switched hosts and now the site is returning HTTP error 417 Expectation failed. So the real solution is to fix the software so it doesn't send the Expect header, but that can't happen soon enough for the folks in charge, who'd like to come up with an immediate web-based fix.I've used ISAPI_Rewrite before and I've read that it can strip a header, and the new host claimed they had ISAPI installed... but that seems to have been a lie, as I cannot get it to work, and support's only response on the subject is "use IIS7 Rewrite instead."

I'm using the iis7 URL Rewrite module and it's working fine, except for two things. Being new to this, I might be missing something obvious.
1) My URL gets converted from www.mysite.com/search.aspx?fName=John&sName=Smith to www.mysite.com/John/Smith. This works fine, but if I add a trailing / , a few images on the site disappear, wheras a few don't. (They're all in the same location). However, the search results are fine.
2) Is it possible to make cerain querystrings optional? Server side, this is implemented (i.e. if nothing is entered, then assume a default value). But how would this work with the URL rewrite module? e.g. www.mysite.com/John would search for John and use a default value for the sName parameter.
